| Description | In this work, we would like to present taxidermy in the context of museum presentation, its history, present, and possible future – with an emphasis on the ethical question of this craft. Taxidermy has a specific position in museums, for its educational and emotional potential, which we discuss in this article. Besides theoretical and historical information, we also present a practical method of creating taxidermy specimens and a brief overview of how to properly care for them. |
